2 Minute Article DOGE's $1 Billion Spending Slash

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has rapidly cut nearly $1 billion in federal spending by terminating 85 contracts related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility across 24 federal agencies. This initiative marks a significant shift toward streamlined government operations. Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy, initially appointed to co-lead DOGE, has stepped down to pursue a gubernatorial bid in Ohio, reflecting ongoing political shifts following recent Senate appointments. These changes highlight a transformative period in both federal governance and state politics.
